The other place water can leak into the truck is behind the brackets that the inner guards bolt up to. The brackets have a groove on the top that lets water in and a bung on the bottom to keep it in. Bead cases can rust through the firewall. Remove the bung (throw it away) and clean out...

The wings don't need sealing to the body. The water can leak from the front corners of the sunroof (not the drains, further in board. The headlining is waterproof so the water can run down without leaving wetness or staining. My truck is getting a new windscreen tomorrow as the old one has a...

Like the first response. “WHY” would you convert a full time 4wd vehicle that was designed to be like that to part time 4wd. The cost of the kit alone would take forever to recover in the miniscule mpg increase. Would you convert your AWD Audi’s or Subaru’s to Part time??

The rear sunroof drain tubes exit the vehicle behind the rear wheels. The front sunroof drain tubes run down the A pillars into the sill cavities on each side. The sills have the bungs fitted from the factory but also have slit drains that shoul allow the water to continuously drain from...

This part number has 2 x threaded holes for water temperature sensors. 16304-17030.

Could you share the size or part number. Thanks.

I painted my swivel hub balls with POR15 about 7 years ago because they were getting a little sad looking. That is the hardest paint I have ever come across. they sell a small starter kit with a the components that you need for prep. I left the paint to harden for a few days and then...

Oh and amayama.com is an excellent source of parts.

Toyodiy will help out. Here is a link to the page: ToyoDIY.com - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]. I believe that you will be pleased with the result.

You dont need to have the diff locked to remove it. The only time it “needs” to be locked is if you are doing a front axle service. There have been reports of people having trouble getting one of the axles back into place if they dislodge the locking mech in the diff. I have never had this...

Not so. Even if the rear diff does not confirm locked (dodgy limit switch or wires ripped off switch) the front diff will lock.

“I don't believe Toyota ever intended for the center to lock in high range as there is no 80 model from the factory that allows this function. And to do so requires a full understanding of what is going on mechanically or one risks damage to the drive line, person, or both.” Wel someone at the...

On the 12 valve hdj81 there are two lights on the dash for the turbo. The green one indicates that the turbo is making boost and from looking at my boost gauge it seems to come on at about 3-4 psi so not the best indicator but better than nothing. The red light comes on at approximately 15...

Have a look at red-winches.com under their Albright contractors. They have data sheets that give good information about wiring for winch motors. I would either raise the winch or lower the fairlead to make it all line up better. The loading on the cable as it changes direction over the...

You can change the motor direction by swapping the black wires around. It changes the direction of the field current relative to the armature. Drum rotation is important for correct brake operation. The hawse fairlead should be reasonably close to the height of the cable coming of the drum...

Luckily we can get systems from these people. They also sell individual sections if you need to replace a bit. Cost around $1200 http://www.autobend.co.nz

The ps battery on RHD vehicles is the one that is added on top of the ds battery to create the 24 volts for the starter. The ps battery is earthed through the solenoid that creates the 24 volts. As the ps battery was knackered it is not surprising that the truck would not start. My truck did...

Check to see if there is a small roller blond behind the grill and in front of the radiator. Mine has one until the Safari Intercooler was fitted. I think this was to aid warm up in snow areas.

If you do the swap don't forget to install the reinforcement brace for the clutch master cylinder mounting that is not fitted in the auto vehicles. As far as I know it is fitted up under the dash. A mate did the swap to manual and did not install this brace and about 6 months later he had to...

The doing up with the rattle gun is the major problem. The wheel fitter should only use the gun to get the nuts into contact with the wheel. Manual tools should be used from then on. With finishing torque using a torque wrench. These people have a duty of care and I don't care if it takes...

The switches that give the locked feedback are a simple plunger switch used in many Toyota manual gearboxes for the reversing light. They are available as an aftermarket part. The problem with them is that they get dirty contacts that do not self clean at the very low currents that the diff...

Well, be sure not to recommend the mechanics to anyone else.

They are not side pieces, they are flare strippers. If you hit anything with the bar near where the number plate is mounted the bar will twist and it's off with the end of the flare. Gets annoying after a couple of weeks times.

Looks like 264500 written on the timing belt cover. At least it has a turbo though.

Don't waste your time with the Bolt on wings for the end of the bumper. They are extremely effective at removing the flair from the guard if you even slightly bend the bar by nudging something. I threw mine away. And then I threw the whole bar away and fitted an ARB bar. Mount the winch on a...

Good luck with getting you truck all sorted out for your trip to Africa. As part of the trip prep make sure that you have sockets that fit all those large nuts on the suspension parts under the truck. I don't think that 32 mm is big enough for some of them. Also make sure that you have a 54mm...

When that red light comes on in my dash I know that I have to lift off a little bit and have a glance at the EGT. I have upped the boost and fuel and have a 3" exhaust and front mounted Intercooler. So for me the red light is something to be aware of but not a major problem. When I set the...

To remove the injectors on a 1HD-T motor you can use the clamp that holds them in. Remove the pipes and clamps. Drop an old 8mm bolt in the clamp bolt hole and use the clamp upside down as a lever. Tap gently on the end and it will pivot on the 8mm bolt head, levering the injector out. Worked...

I think you missed my point there. Someone has suggested that there is no flow through the transmission cooler when the torque converter is in lockup. If the transmission gets up to 125C while working hard and with the torque converter unlocked and fluid flowing through the cooler and then...

If there was no flow through the cooler when locked up the trans would slowly but surely get cooked especially if the temperature was high after a climb up to a plateau and you then cruised across the top in lockup. The trans would have no effective way to shed heat without flow in lockup...

The fluid flows through the cooler all the time as the oil pump is driven off the transmission input shaft, even when the torque converter is locked up. My temp goes from around 80 degrees to 125 ish climbing over long mountain passes (the Mangamuka gorge, NZ) with switchbacks every 3-400...

Mine is Blue but not that shiny.

My truck is the factory turbo and also benefits from a front mounted Safari intercooler, wound up main fuel and a slight increase in boost. The red over post light just flickers sometimes so about 14 psi. Just had the injectors rebuilt 2 due before coming to Fiji so when I get back I will be...

My truck is diesel so there are no sensors in the exhaust. The 1HDT motor has no electronics unlike the 1HD-FT motor. Best way to get a look at one of these exhausts is to google it. I am in Fiji at the moment doing disaster relief repairing the electricity network and don't have any pictures...

I have a Rage Big Bore 3 inch mandrel bent pipe from the base of the turbo. It follows the oem route except for the very last section which I changed to exit out the side just behind the rear mud flap (kept squashing it). I feel like it allows the turbo to spool up quicker. It also sounds...

The cruise control also relies on the speed sensors in the transmission. Does the cruise light flash any codes when you try to use it. Top speed when on cruise control is sensitive to throttle cable slack so make sure the cable system is giving the injector rack full throttle. Hedley Berge

It concerns me greatly that someone would suggest connecting a jumper lead from a battery negative to the engine block without specifying which battery on a 12/24 system. Under no circumstances should you connect the negative terminal of the UK passenger side battery to the engine block and...

Look around on other forums or Google it. I took the glass covers of a couple of headlight units to clean / replace reflectors for my 80. Just heated them in the oven for a while. Only thing I can't remember is the temperature but it was not to hot. Sarmajor

Dooh if the diffs were locked even putting the truck in Neutral would not stop the airborne wheels turning. Sarmajor

I have had good success carefully un crimping the top of the reservoir and removing the gasket that is in there and then refitting the lid and brazing or silver soldering the top and bottom section together. The old gasket just gets hard after years of heat and exposure to oil. The oil then...

The SST is just a set of pump pliers with serrations on the jaws. I did my own over a couple of nights. First night measured the clearances bad measured the shims. Put the details into whizzy spreadsheet to work out new shim sizes. Worked out which ones to swap to new spots and ordered...

They are surely taking the piss. I had to sledge hammer mine on and it still only took a couple of hours from go to whoa.

Not sure if you have fixed the problem yet. The flash rate will tell you what the fault is. I had the OD light flash when my speed sensor was not operating properly.

No. Sorry I only have the printout with kw on it. I recall that there were good improvements in torque as well. Off on a club recce this afternoon so over to the shed to fit the simex jungle trekkers to be sure. Thanks for the welcome. Cheers Hedley

I have an actual 80 series Landcruiser fitted with a Safari Intercooler. It was fitted to the vehicle after a dyno run was performed to get base line data. After the installation a dyno run was done. Fuel adjustments were made until the power output was excessive and then it was dialled back...
